Our day in Ephesus with About Ephesus/Osman Turizm was exceptional! We were met at the boat by Feliz who was absolutely amazing. She was knowledgeable, friendly and so pleasant to spend the day with. We went to the House of the Virgin Mary, toured the ruins of the Ancient City of Ephesus, and afterwards had a beautiful Turkish lunch on... More

We (2 couples) were on a cruise that docked in Kusadasi for the day, and we booked a day-long tour to Ephesus with aboutephesus.com. Booking was easy, with deposit made using PayPal, and our guide, Gulcan was at the dock waiting for us at 7:30 am as arranged. She led us to a very comfortable van which remained with us... More

Used this tour company to visit St john's Basilica, Virgin Mary's House and Ephesus. We were met off the boat by Ali who accompanied us for the day. He was an excellent guide, managed everything to our place and was very flexible when we wanted to stay longer in some areas. The tour included all admission fees and an excellent... More

We took the aboutehpesus.com half-day tour rather than the cruise lines. We only had to put down a $20 deposit before our cruise and paid the rest after the tour was over. We also were able to substitute the Terrace Houses for another stop and this was the only additional fee since there is an admission charge. Selda, our guide,... More

My wife and I visited Ephesus on a cruise trip in April 2011. We only had 7 hours at the port-of-call, and the About Ephesus team picked us up promptly off the cruise, and was able to cater to our customized trip plan such that we saw the house of virgin Mary, Celsus library, the terrace houses, and the temple...

I gathered information and pricing from about six guides before choosing About Ephesus. They were one of the two most reasonable -- I believe our group of five paid $60/pp for an all day tour, including lunch. One of the best deals during our two week trip. Our intinerary: The Temple of Artemis - The Ancient City of Ephesus –... More

My wife and I traveled to Ephesus in October via our cruise. We chose aboutephesus.com as our private guide after reading all the great review on Tripadvisor - and I was very happy using them as our guide! Our guide Onur waited for us at the cruiseship terminal and the driver drove the car to meet us up very quickly... More

We had a great day using aboutephesus.com. Our guide was Gonja and she was very knowledgable and helpful. I would have liked to have spent more time at the actual ruins instead of the Carpet demonstration and pottery demonstration, but since I was with some serious shoppers I was out- voted. Gonja did a good job making sure the 8... More

We were 5 couples who booked a private tour of Ephesus via the internet. We fortunately booked with www.aboutephesus.com and had the most wonderful guide! (Also the communications via e-mail were also swift and clear with a Mr. Teleheri) Our assigned guide, Ms. Gonca (also called Rosie), is a young woman who is intelligent, most knowledgeable, vivacious, enthusiastic, and pleasant...
